It’s a thriller without needing those tropes. This book, however, was a breath of fresh air. I’m sure I’ve complained about these tropes enough in other reviews so I will digress. I feel like I’m reading about the “unreliable narrator” the “twist that no one expects but, really, I’ve read it before” or “the unreliable narrator who also has a drinking problem”. The thing with thrillers is that, as of late, most of them have the same tropes in them. Because of school and whatnot I hadn’t picked it up until about 3 days before it was due so I quickly sat down to read it and my goodness, it passed the time. Anyway, I was at the library and I recognized the cover and it was in the “Lucky Day” section where books are only available in-person.
I picked this book up because I believe I saw it on BookTube, but now when I’m trying to look for the BookTuber, I can’t find them. A thriller like I haven’t read in a while, it was incredibly enjoyable, had minimal typical “thriller tropes” and surprised me not once but twice over. She is sent to a psychiatric hospital where the narrator, Theo Faber, tries to figure out not only why she killed her husband but why she remains mute.
It follows a woman named Alicia Berenson who murders her husband and remains mute afterward. This debut author and story packs quite a punch.
